I don't know as much as I should about China - so I think the observations here are likely valid.

We finished watching the show "Run" which was on HBO. What a waste. It was only 7 half-hour episodes and still managed to not feel worth the time it took to watch it. I wasn't expecting much going in and the show delivered a good bit less than that. It mostly felt like anything actually interesting was glossed over or just not addressed, then the show was done. Felt like half a real effort, really.
I assumed they had, will be going into this thing disappointed learning they didn't
Curious as to your thoughts. I just couldn't get into it Devs, prolly stopped a third into the first episode. Admittedly I feel I'm just not in the life-space to think deeply about my TV...
Killing eve.
Wow, that was a great show. Jodie Comer does a fantastic job acting. She plays a psychopathic killer and does an amazing job being cold/uncaring psycopath, but she also jumps back and forth between that and and a persona of caring/loving/human emotions. The range it great to watch, she makes the show.
Finished season 2 and thought it was the end (I think that's all that's on hulu). Great ending, though its up to season 4 now... I thought ending at 2 made a lot of sense, so I'm a bit skeptical of the other seasons.
I heard about a new show, "Devs", streaming on Hulu, or "FX on Hulu", directed by Alex Garland ("Ex Machina", "Annihilation") that revolves around the determinism/free will question. Anyone aware of it?Yeah, good show, well worth watching.
Ah I'll have to check it out, even though I am a bit puzzled why - as one of the five people on Earth qualified to talk about free will - I wasn't consulted...

And do you understand why this is?
My guess would be the fear of being alone is often confused for love?
